SF: Set a remark to role-rightsDeclined

I would like the possibility to add a small remark to role rights. My primary use case for this is setting a remark when a role has rights to all columns/tasks/etc. of a subject except one. For the one exemption I would like to be able to place a remark so all developers know that was a deliberate exemption and why.

Debug UniversalOpen

I think I’m not the only one struggling a lot with the debugger of Universal. At least can you suppress the breakpoints in de database eventlog. This one generates 500 records per second and you have be really quick to trap the error if there’s one.And the WIN GUI was able to return the SQL error’s For example:  Cannot insert the value NULL into column xxxThe universal GUI gives me a Unknown Error, the message cannot be found in the indicium log. How do I know what’s going wrong. In developer mode of the browser I can see the task is going wrong but also there, the text the windows GUI is returning on a proper manner cannot be found. You only get a diarree of unreadable code. Debugging is taking me seriously more time then with the WIN GUI, and it’s very frustrating.Please improve this ASAP

Restore prefilter status when opening a new documentOpen

For universal please make the prefilters act like they did in windows gui. If a document is closed, or a new document is opened restore the default prefilter status. In universal if i am on a screen to show all customers. I can deactivate a prefilter to show inactive customers. The next time I open this screen the prefilter will still be deactivated. Why? The default is there for a reason, it’s the most logical set of prefilters to show the screen when opening. This is one feature where windows gui is still supreme. Please change this to make the universal gui easier to use.

Add some indicator for database or environment in universalDeclined

At support we work with multiple version of the software factory and multiple environments. However with the introduction of universal there is no clear (default) way to distinguish the environments. In universal you can check information for which platform version you are using, but then you still don’t know which database. This was much easier to distinguish in windows gui. Can we add a setting to show the database name and platform version? I can imagine you don’t want to do this by default. So a setting that can be activated for the development environment to show the database name somewhere would be appreciated. Windows gui: (on openening the gui you can see both the database name and the platform version) Universal: No clue which database or platform i’m looking at. about does show me the platform version:

Collapsible screen type elementsPlanned

Currently within the project I work on we make use of the detail tiles on the side of most of our subjects. Like this: What I would like to be able is to collapse this element the the right side of the application so the screen has more room to work with. It should work the same way as the menu does, like I can open it by clicking on or hovering over it.This could also be implemented for elements like the Tab containers.

Workspace Listener for Linux & macOS 🐧Planned

At the moment, there are no plans to create a Workspace Listener for Linux (source).It would be great to not be limited to Windows and have support for automatic opening of your IDE on Linux. Context:Automatic opening of local code files  For additional convenience, Windows users can install the new Thinkwise Workspace Listener. This tool automatically opens the selected code file in your preferred IDE when clicking on the pencil icon. The Workspace Listener is optional. Without it, you can still edit and synchronize code locally (provided you use a browser that supports the Filesystem API), but you will need to manually open the files in your IDE.    Browsers with File System Access API  Chrome & Edge  Browsers without File System Access API  Safari & Firefox  Windows  ✅ Automatic syncs  ✅ Automatic opening (using the Workspace Listener)  ❌ No automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening    Local code editing requires manual copy/paste  MacOS  ✅ Automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening  Linux  ✅ Automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening

Bring back hotkey for combined filter (search)Merged

In the Windows GUI we were able to use CTRL-G to put our cursor in the combined filter (search).We would love to have this feature in Universal, where the hotkey would take you to the (nearest) combined filter for the current subject.

index optimizerOpen

When upgrading the platform to 2026.1, we waited for around two hours in total (SF and IAM on DEV) for the TSF optimizer to finish rebuilding the indexes. This was even after old branches/applications were removed in SF and IAM the day before to speed up the upgrade. At one point, we saw the slow_query_log index being rebuilt, where fragmentation was only 0.1%, containing over 5 million records. Our idea is twofold:Parameterize or hardcode the index optimization so that only indexes with a fragmentation percentage above a given threshold are rebuilt. Allow configuration in the Deployer to specify whether indexes need to be optimized. We already have a nightly job that performs this, so we would prefer to let that run outside office hours.

Support a custom html mount for Universal GUI containerCompleted

As explained in Adding extra files to Universal GUI container | Thinkwise Community, the current Universal GUI container doesn’t support adding custom html files (like Screen components | Thinkwise Documentation or Upload multiple files using the Universal GUI | Thinkwise Community). This makes it quite cumbersome to add custom components to our applications when using containers.Please add the possibility to mount a volume to /etc/universal/custom/ for html files (or include html files in the assets mount).

Disable any development in Finalized branchesNext release

When a finished branch gets merged to it's origin (non-reciprocal). It becomes finalized and, depending on selection, archived. Further merging into and from this branch is thereafter no longer possible. Yet, active development is still possible in a finalized branch (even after unarchiving). Wouldn't it make sense to completely lock development in a finalized branch as well? I have experienced a scenario where an unsuspecting developer was actively developing in a finalized branch (without knowing it was a finalized branch) and then find out way too late all of his work is for naught.

Give the developer more information when deleting a row in the Software FactoryNext release

When deleting a row in the Software Factory, it currently shows the generic message:Usually you can see the selected row in the background, however, I’d like bit more assurance when deleting things in the Software Factory. It would be great if it showed for example (when deleting):Functionality: Are you sure you want to delete {control_proc_id} Branch: Are you sure you want to delete {branch_id} etc.

Some improvements on visibility of open documentsNext release

In the universal GUI opening (a lot of) documents can make the navigation panel cluttered and even push the menu out of sight: Some suggestions to improve this: Split the navigation panel in two panels with seperate vertical scroll-bars as soon as the number of open documents exceeds a certain treshold Add levels for detail-documents beneath open documents and collaps them the same as the menu tree with (automatic) collapsing and expanding Add context (part of the breadcrumb) to the title or mouse-over of detail-documents to prevent having to open a document to see wich one is the right one Another suggestion: An option to lock an open document, so that it is available the next time I login to the application

Bring back Excel-style filtering in cubesOpen

We would like to have an Excel-style filter in cubes, in the same way it works in grids.This is causing confusion with the users because the pivot grid in Universal looks so similar to a regular grid. Currently the only option is to open the filter pop-up, go to the column and use ‘in’, this is not really a viable alternative.

Drag-and-drop sorting in menu for Open DocumentsOpen

Hi everyone,I would like to propose a quality-of-life improvement: the ability to manually reorder menu items in Open Documents and Favorites using drag-and-drop.Why this helps: Better overview: Group related tabs and documents together based on your current task. Higher efficiency: Keep your most-used favorites at the very top for quick access. Cleaner workspace: Less time spent searching through static lists. It’s a small UX tweak that would make daily navigation in the Software Factory a lot smoother.Let me know what you think! Upvote if you agree.

The option to use IN as filter in the form listWorking on it!

The last couple of days we receive multiple questions from our end users that the standard form list in the GUI doesn't give the option to use ‘IN’ to filter results. We are very curious why there is no option to put multiple different values comma separated in the standard GUI filter?This group of around 25 end users just moved from a 20+ years old ERP system to our Thinkwise ERP system but they showed us how they worked in the old system and to be honest, it looks easy to implement in the Thinkwise GUI and we actually are a bit curious why nobody seemed to noticed this ‘gap’ before. Maybe we overlooked something but it seems that it can't be done in the GUI in the current version (2023.1.12.0).Not sure how to call the standard filter in the GUI, but in SF they call this filter a form list. In blue there are the options to choose from, they look like this in our Dutch version of the GUI: We miss ‘IN’ as option in this listWhat we need is the option ‘IN’ and a possibility to fill in the values comma separated. For example if you want to see details from 3 different orders 123, 567 and 999 in the old ERP system we would easily filter like this:Filter 3 different sales orders in the >20 years old ERP systemAs a select query this would result in something like:Select details from sales_orders where sales_order_id in (123,567,999)So nothing really difficult about this, so we hope you can put this very soon as a filter option in the GUI?In our old system the filter can also be built like this (see also the different options like ‘and’ and ‘ or’ on the left side as well):Ways to build a selection filter in the >20 year old ERP systemWe read in some other posts on the community about using AND or OR as a prefilter, so maybe this last picture can be helpful. Nevertheless for us the most important thing is to give our end users the possibility to just fill in multiple values comma separated. Maybe this is already possible, if so, hopefully somebody can explain how and if not, we hope Thinkwise can provide this awesome option very soon. Thank you in advance!

Allow deeplinking to specific recordOpen

We’d like to have deep linking available directly in the Software Factory (and ideally IAM).In end‑user applications you can already deep link to a specific record via a process flow, but this isn’t possible in SF itself. This makes it harder to point colleagues to the exact place in the model when discussing issues or reviewing work.Why this would help:You can share a link that opens the exact process flow, control procedure, task or table you’re talking about, which makes collaboration much smoother. We already pass deep links around in Teams for process flows and error screens, so having this supported in SF would make that consistent.  Reviewers and new team members can jump straight to the right place without navigating through multiple screens. It becomes easier to keep documentation up to date guides and runbooks can simply link to the correct SF item instead of describing long navigation steps. It also helps prevent misunderstandings during development, because everyone opens the exact same object and version instead of possibly looking at different branches or outdated definitions.

Simplify IAM User Management for Customer Access through End ApplicationPartially completed

As a developer I want to simplify the management of IAM users within my end application,so that customer access to their data can be administered more efficiently, and user creation and permission assignment in IAM are automated. We have an application that we will make accessible to customers so they can view and retrieve their own data.Therefore, users need to be created in IAM with the appropriate permissions.I would like to simplify this process. I want to be able to provide (a JSON file for example) which users I have, their attributes, and the groups they belong to, and have IAM handle the process automatically.Currently, I need to figure out which IAM APIs are available and set up a mechanism to handle this. This is time-consuming and error-prone, so I think it would be ideal to develop standard functionality to optimize this process.

Improve Model Insight to same level or better as Windows GUI's "Path Location"Working on it!

During development I regularly use the Windows GUI to find relevant information regarding screens, columns, parameters, etc. with the Alt + F1 combination (Path Location). Even though the Universal GUI has “Model Insight”, it is lacking many things the other option is giving.I think it is not the intent of ThinkWise to keep the need for using a different GUI to make your Universal GUI product complete. This idea is to make the “Model Insight” improve its usability and hopefully remove the need for a fall back GUI.Current issues or features missing that I am aware of:References more than 1 level deep, do still show the level 1 reference; References more than 1 level deep, do not show table / variant information; Unable to get info when a grid has no records to click on; No context information (Detail, Master, etc.); No Tab Control (What Detail group is being used); No Domain information; No Task name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; No Report name is mentioned, only the parameter as “Column”; Lookup popups give no information, it still show the column/parameter of what it is a lookup on; No Translations.

Select all records including other pages (Universal)Completed

In the Web GUI it was possible to use “Select all” and when activating a task it would ask if you wanted the records on the page or all records of all pages. Please add this also in the Universal and in addition make it work with the Multi Select XML parameter, as this popup did not seem to happen in that case.

Look-up dropdown - indication when there are more optionsOpen

When a look-up control is set to suggestion, the dropdown of the lookup only shows the first 8 results. But in fact there could be a lot more results. This is not clear to the user. Please add a visual indication for the user when there are more results. Preferably when clicking on the indication, it opens the lookup popup.

Increase performance by reducing queries for detailsNew

When you have a main subject with a detail page, I noticed the GUI executes the following query on each row selection in preparation for loading the detail (GUI & Indicium version 2026.1.15). SELECT t1.[REF-COL1], t1.[REF-COL2]FROM [MAIN-SUBJECT] t1WHERE t1.[PK1] = @p0 AND t1.[PK2] = @p1When you have 4 details, it executes 4 of these queries, even when the reference columns are the same. When this is executed on a table, the cost of this query is insignificant since it can always use the primary key index to retrieve exactly one record. But when the main subject is a view, this could be a different story depending on the view code. Could this behaviour be improved so it doesn’t have to access the main subject so many times? It seems that it should at least be possible to gather all reference columns for all references with one query at once. But it would be even better if it could use the data from when the main subject was loaded itself.
